Does Arkansas's 50% long-term capital gains deduction apply to cryptocurrency?

Arkansas allows a 50% deduction on long-term capital gains for assets held more than one year. Because the IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property, long-term crypto gains generally qualify for this state-level deduction. Working with a CPA who structures your trades with this in mind can produce meaningful Arkansas-specific savings — but the rules around basis tracking, holding periods, and matching federal records to Arkansas state returns require specialized handling. Always confirm current treatment with your CPA before relying on it for a specific transaction.

How is cryptocurrency mining income taxed in Arkansas?

Cryptocurrency mining income in Arkansas is generally treated as self-employment income, subject to both Arkansas's regular state income tax rates and federal self-employment tax. Active miners may deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses, including equipment depreciation, electricity, internet costs, and a portion of home office expenses where applicable. Hobby miners face different treatment. Chainwise CPA helps Arkansas miners structure their activity correctly from the start to avoid reclassification risk.

Do I need to report crypto-to-crypto trades on my Arkansas state tax return?

Yes. Arkansas follows federal IRS treatment, which considers crypto-to-crypto trades — such as swapping ETH for SOL or wrapping a token — taxable events. Each swap can produce a capital gain or loss that must be reported on both your federal return and your Arkansas state return. Most off-the-shelf tax software undercounts these events when wallets and exchanges aren't fully connected. Wallet-by-wallet reconciliation is the only way to get this right at scale.

Can a CPA based in Virginia prepare my Arkansas tax return?

Yes. Certified Public Accountants licensed in any U.S. state can prepare federal returns and out-of-state state returns, including Arkansas. Chainwise CPA serves Arkansas clients remotely with secure document handling, encrypted client portals, and video meetings. Our credentialed team brings deep crypto expertise and Arkansas-specific knowledge — including the 50% long-term capital gains deduction — that few in-state generalist CPAs can match.

What is Form 1099-DA and how does it affect Arkansas crypto investors?

Form 1099-DA is the IRS reporting form that crypto exchanges and brokers issue for digital asset transactions, with broader rollout taking effect across recent tax years. Arkansas investors should expect their returns to require careful reconciliation between 1099-DA totals reported by exchanges and their personal cost basis records. Discrepancies are common — particularly for investors using multiple wallets or self-custody — and require expert CPA review to avoid overstated gains or IRS notices.

I was at the end of my rope trying to decipher the never ending new rules and regulations of the IRS, as it pertains to crypto. I thought I was doing a good job keeping everything in order with my exchanges, transfers and swaps, until I received my 1099 - DA's, which were highly inaccurate. I knew my problems would only get worse if I didn't take a more professional approach in addressing them, so I needed to hire a crypto and tax expert.

As I researched this topic, one crypto advisory group clearly stood out amongst their competition, and that was Polygon Advisory Group. Before I could sign up with them, I had to have brief meeting with them to see if my needs and their talents would align. After our 15 minute intro meeting, I was more than convinced they had the skillset, and desire, to unravel my crypto challenges.

I have to commend Daniel B. and his extraordinary talent to analyze my crypto reports and then provide reconciliation for all of my accounts. He was also intuitive to recognize many gaps in my information and then investigate deeper to connect all of the data points. There is no possible way I could have performed such a feat by myself. When all was finished, Daniel went back in my previous tax returns and even recommended that I file amendments for the last 5 years, and that ended up saving me a lot of money (excess $10K) due to me incorrectly reporting my crypto income.

Closing: So many companies are only willing to document the numbers that you provide them and then quickly close your file. Polygon Advisory Group digs in deep and investigates the incomplete files/data and helps you bring resolve to your crypto headaches. I'll use them again next year, as they have my complete trust!

I was new to crypto trading and lacked knowledge about how crypto transactions are taxed and how to report crypto profits and/or capital gains to the IRS. As a new customer, I contacted Polygon Advisory Group services to prepare my tax documents for both all my crypto transactions and for my regular income and other financial investment earnings. Their services were comprehensive and thorough and in compliance with every detailed aspect of my IRS and Virginia tax filing requirements.
